pbreit··on Elizabeth Holmes is sentenced to more than 11 years for fraud
It's a little surprising you can get 11 years for "misleading professional investors".
pbreit··on How to sell tickets fairly
The transfer limitation is specifically to mitigate scalping. What would you prefer?
pbreit··on How to sell tickets fairly
"beating" ticketmaster is pretty easy: play at venues that are not locked up by TM.

But TM really isn't that bad. There's always going to be a problem when demand far exceeds supply. If you went with pure supply/demand sales rich people would buy all.

Also the primary input to Google PageRank.
pbreit··on FTX to file for U.S. bankruptcy, CEO resigns
Both of those are unlikely. The whole point of bankruptcy is to mitigate things like contract terminations. Further, the bankruptcy court will have little, if any involvement in the eventual sale of the naming rights to a new sponsor.
pbreit··on FTX to file for U.S. bankruptcy, CEO resigns
Very unlikely the bankruptcy court will get to do much beyond terminating the deal.
pbreit··on FTX to file for U.S. bankruptcy, CEO resigns
Unlikely is was paid up front. The news articles say things like "$90m over 19 years". There is also almost certainly terms in the contract relating to the reputation of the advertiser (FTX in this case).

All of this is handled much differently if a party is in bankruptcy (which is the point of bankruptcy).

pbreit··on Binance to acquire FTX
That sounds like 1D chess.
pbreit··on Binance to acquire FTX
The current headline "Binance Acquires FTX" is wrong. There's only a "non-binding Letter of Intent" in place.
pbreit··on Twitter faces a class action lawsuit over mass employee layoffs with proper
So does that just mean they need to be paid for 60 days (which they are)?
pbreit··on Starlink Sets High-Speed Data Cap at 1TB per Month, Lowers Advertised Speeds
Top of the 1st inning, everyone. Let's not come to too many rash conclusions.
pbreit··on Twitter faces a class action lawsuit over mass employee layoffs with proper
Does anyone know what WARN actually requires? If they are copensated for 60 days, does that suffice?
pbreit··on Stripe laying off around 14% of workforce
What do you suggest?
pbreit··on Stripe laying off around 14% of workforce
No it doesn't. Especially with a 14% reduction in by far the largest expenditure.
pbreit··on “Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with diverse viewpoints”
Or just not show ads on those pages.
pbreit··on LemmyBB, a federated bulletin board
Sounds a bit like NetNews/NNTP/Usenet? I've been wanting to try to get a Usenet server set up but it's difficult to find solutions. Are there ANY modern implementations?
pbreit··on SpaceX is now building a Raptor engine a day, NASA says
Not really apples-to-apples considering how much of the finished car Tesla manufacturers. Other car companies make very few of their parts. Tesla makes almost every part.
pbreit··on “Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with diverse viewpoints”
As long as it's legal, why ban anyone? The bar should be VERY high.
pbreit··on “Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with diverse viewpoints”
"I hope Trump is never allowed back,"

Why?

My favorite playlist while working: https://music.apple.com/us/station/trent-reznor-atticus-ross...
pbreit··on California man fined for selling maps of property boundaries without a license
I think licensure has totally gone off the rails. But this doesn't strike me as the best example. Just get the license. Your 2nd paragraph has gone further off.
pbreit··on Using Notion as a headless CMS for our blog
I've struggled to grok Notion and Coda. What are the killer apps? I'm happy with Google Docs.
pbreit··on Show HN: A framework for building Slack bots in Python
Has anyone ever found a bot-generated message in Slack to be useful?
